Unexpected Signs From Heaven When I Needed Them Most

The words rocked me to my core, right there in the middle of the home section of Target.

Non-Verbal, Crossed Signals

The purée literally jumped four feet in the air and came splashing down on his head.

It was as if everything we have ever loved, hated, or known was taken away.

Frustrated and pleading, “Come on. You like Jeff Wiggle. Right? It’s a Jeff doll. Yay?” Nada.
